Without Freedom of thought there can be no such thing as wisdom;and no such thing as public liberty, without freedom of speech.
Benjamin FranklinA nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the region of ignorance that tyranny begins.” Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin FranklinBe at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let every new year find you a better man.
Benjamin FranklinThe most trifling actions that affect a man's credit are to be regarded. The sound of your hammer at five in the morning, or at nine at night, heard by a creditor, makes him easy six months longer; but if he sees you at the billiard-table, or hears your voice at a tavern, when you should be at work, he sends for his money the next day.
